Programme announced for 2017 Edinburgh International Festival

The programme for the 2017 Edinburgh International Festival has been announced, featuring many Askonas Holt artists and touring partners.

This year marks the festival’s 70th anniversary, and the classical programme launches with the same work that opened the 1947 festival – Haydn’s Surprise Symphony. The opening concert is completed by Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 2 with soprano Dorothea Röschmann.
